Whoopsie Daisy

I didn't realise that I haven't posted for a week. Lazy bones me. Terribly sorry if you're a faithful reader, I know how hard it can be when you're looking for a fix and it isn't being given. Not that I think I have my faithful readers. Anyway. The week.
I think it all went by in relatively normal fashion. On Friday I was tired, actually I wasn't going to bed til late most nights. On Wednesday night I'd turned the TV on and found that Mickey Blue Eyes was on. I love Hugh Grant. I couldn't remember what movie it was, but I saw Hugh Grant and knew I wouldn't be turning it off. The bit where's he's trying to talk with a New York mobster accent cracks me up, laying in bed I was in hysterics trying not to make noise therefore laughing with my body (involved high kicks in the air). That finished at 1:30am. Thursday night I finished my book. Finished at 1am. So by Friday was exhausted beyond comprehension so when I finished work I took a nap and woke at 6:30, thinking Pat had forgotten me so decided to just sleep til the next morning. Then she called and I met her and the kids at Portillos (great food) and then we went and drove through the Winter Wonderland in Vernon Hills. It's like 3 miles of Christmas lights. Was pretty cool. Haven't uploaded the pics yet.
After that I met Kel and Rodolfo and we went and saw The Pursuit of Happyness. Was good except it was long and because I hadn't anticipated to be seeing a movie I can't say I was thrilled with seeing it then (was almost falling asleep in the movies).
On Saturday I picked up Sarah and we went downtown to the Chicago History Museum. Was pretty good, well worth it for the small vintage Dior collection exhibit that they've got there at the moment. I don't understand why they make museums so damn big because it's impossible to see it all in a day. Glad I'm not going to go to the Field Museum (or have no plans to at the moment) because I'd really have to work out what I want to see before going there as that's probably quadruple the size of the CHM. Ran into Pat and the kids at the train platform, very weird! Was fun to see them though. After that Sarah showed me the park in her suburb which had Christmas lights in it, was very cool.
That night I was in bed, asleep by 9pm. I know it was a Saturday but I was exhausted and had a headache. Can't wait to see the osteo as it's (my back and neck) now getting to a very painful point.
Sunday I went and spent my Archiver's gift card that mum and dad sent me for Christmas with other gifts (didn't open them, not until Christmas day) and did a little scrapbooking and then went to Lorey and Keith's for their Christmas party. Ate far too much food then went and met Kel and Rodolfo at the mall. We then decided to go see The Holiday, which I'd been wanting to see. Was hilarious. I was in hysterics when Jude Law did the napkin face, I seemed to be the only one...
And now it's Monday again and I feel like I worked forever, even though it was 9 hours, I think it was just because I worked from 11-8.
So that's it from me for now. Think I am homesick, I'm finding it very difficult to go a week without speaking to home but soon enough I'll be there. Though it doesn't seem so close anymore.
